Chapter 360 Sacking Jeremiah
Wait, Mr. Campbell? Isn’t that Donald?
“Who the hell are you?” questioned Adrian as his hands trembled.
Jennifer and the rest of the family narrowed their eyes as they stared at Donald.
Kevin refused to move his gaze away from Donald. He had a mix of emotions as his curiosity about Donald’s identity grew.
Maybe I misjudged Donald? Is he really some kind of big shot? But that’s impossible.
The sharp ringing of Adrian’s phone continued. In the end, he was numbed by the unfolding chaos.
By the end of the ordeal, Adrian had been made aware that the demolition of the thirteen toll stations he was in charge of was currently underway.
At a loss for words, he raised his wrist to look at the time on the watch.
Five minutes! It really only took five minutes!
Adrian’s body went cold the moment he glanced at Donald.
How powerful is he to be capable of doing such a thing? If they sacked me, I would lose the protection provided by Yund Group. What if my enemies want to get even with me? Wait! I think I still have a chance. I was informed they’ll rebuild the toll stations after the demolition. If I beg Donald now, I still have a chance to return to Yund Group.
Hence, with a loud thump, he kneeled before Donald.
The other members of the Stern family were stunned by Adrian’s action.
Beatrice covered her mouth in immense shock as she looked at the scene before her, for the arrogant Adrian had chosen to kneel before Donald.
Even though Donald appeared to be mild-mannered and calm, his eyes showed a noticeable streak of rebellion as he stared at Adrian condescendingly.
Startled, Jennifer stood up from her seat abruptly. Her heart was thumping uncontrollably as she studied Donald, trying to find clues about the latter’s identity from his micro-expressions.
However, her effort ended up being futile.
No one was more surprised than Kevin and the rest of the Stern family.
For a long moment, the whole place went quiet.
Mason’s face paled as he lost his balance. In the end, he had to steady himself with a chair. His terrified and shocked expression could not be concealed.
“This is impossible!” Linda’s face turned menacing.
“Please forgive me!” Adrian begged painfully.
Yes, the toll stations are being demolished now, but I know they will rebuild it. If Yund Group stops employing me, I will fall from the altar. My life will be in danger.
Donald remained indifferent to Adrian, who was kneeling on the ground.
After a while, he spoke. “How dare you lock down this city’s transportation just to prevent these devices from entering Pollerton?”
“I’m sorry!” Adrian trembled in fear.
That time, Bryan was the one who had looked for him. The man gave Adrian ten million, requesting him to seal off all toll stations and send the trucks back to where they came from if they had these devices in their possessions. When Donald found out about this, he was ready to confront Adrian. However, incidents happened, and they delayed his schedule.
One of the main reasons Donald came looking for Adrian today was to settle the score with him.
On the flip side, Jeremiah felt humiliated by Adrian’s decision to kneel before Donald. “Adrian, don’t you dare kneel in front of him!” he roared. “You are Adrian Stern. Even if Yund Group fires you, we still have business in a few service areas.
Even though the profits of managing those service areas were not as high as the toll stations, it provided them with many opportunities to exploit the company’s funds.
This was also Jeremiah’s backup.
Then, he continued, “Come and work for me. I’ll let you manage a few of those service areas. I don’t think he’s powerful enough to ask Neil to fire me too!”
As Jeremiah spoke, a sardonic expression appeared on his face.
Why should I kneel before a man who is about to die? Not to mention he’s an abandoned child of the Campbell clan!
Lifting his head, Donald peered at Jeremiah. “All right. Those are your words. I’ve long wanted to teach you a lesson, anyway.”
At that moment, Donald radiated an intimidating aura as he landed his gaze on Jeremiah.
With that, he fished out his phone and gave a call to Neil. “Fire Jeremiah. Take a look into the account.”
